How Long to Cook a Medium-Rare Steak
The cook time for a medium-rare steak is 6 to 10 minutes, depending on your oven or grill temperature as well as the thickness of your steak. When it's done, the internal temperature of your steak will be 130 to 135 degrees. For the best results, give your steak a quick sear over high heat to brown the outside, either over a hot grill or in a skillet, then finish it at a lower temperature, being careful not to overcook it.
